Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development proposes that children progress through four distinct stages as their intellectual abilities develop: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. At each stage, children demonstrate new abilities, like distinguishing self from objects in sensorimotor or using logic and understanding abstract concepts in formal operations. Piaget believed cognitive development occurs through processes of assimilation, accommodation, and adaptation as children interact with their environment.

Cognitive Theory
Jean Pia get
Cognitive development is
an orderly, sequential
process in which a variety
of new experiences
(stimuli) must exist before
intellectual abilities can
develop.
Piaget 1996
Jean Piaget
Refers to the manner in which people
learn to think, reason and use language.
Involves a person’s intelligence,
perceptual ability, and ability to process
information.
Represents a progression of mental
abilities from illogical to logical thinking,
from simple to complex problem solving,
and from understanding concrete ideas
to understanding abstract concepts.
Four Phases
Sensorimotor Phase
Preoperational Phase
Concrete Operations Phase
Formal Operations Phase
Three Primary Abilities
Assimilation – process through
which humans encounter and react
to new situations by using the
mechanisms they possess.
Accomodation – process of change
whereby cognitive processes
mature sufficiently to allow the
person to solve problems that were
unsolvable before.
Adaptation – ability to handle the
demands made by the environment.
Sensorimotor
“Distinguish self from
environment”
Sensorimotor
• Stage 1 Reflexive
“common reaction of the body”
• Stage 2 Primary Circular reaction
“Body is the center of the environment”
• Stage 3 Secondary circular reaction
“aware of environment and tends to
modify it”
Sensorimotor
• Stage 4 Coordination and schemata
“Goal” different from attaining it
• Stage 5 tertiary circular reaction
“Goal” New ways of attaining it
• Stage 6 Inventions of new means
“Mental Images and pretend play”
PRE-OPERATIONAL
THOUGHT
2-7 years old
Pre-conceptual thought
o 2-4 years old
o Uses an egocentric approach
o Everything is significant and
relates to “me”
o Explores environment
o Language development is
rapid
o Associate words with objects
Intuitive thought
4-7 years old
Egocentric diminishes
Words expresses thoughts
CONCRETE OPERATIONAL
THOUGHT
6-12 or 7-11 years old
Significant Behavior
-Child begins to apply logical
thinking
-Understand directions
-Begins to understand relationship
-Solves concrete problems
-School age: can understand
cause and effect and concrete
relationships or problems
FORMAL OPERATION
• 12 – 15 years old
• Uses rational thinking
• The child learns to think
and reason in abstract
term, it develop logical
thinking and reasoning
and achieve cognitive
maturity
